Brazen Thieves On ‘Grab And Go’ Crime Spree At Davis Coffee Shops

DAVIS (CBS13) — Davis police are trying to crack down on a coffee shop crime spree. Thieves have been targeting customers as they study or work in shops. Now investigators are hoping surveillance video will lead to an arrest.

Marie Whitney-Fowcett is the latest victim in the computer theft crime wave.

“I was sitting just inside here,” Whitney-Fowcett said. “It was so fast, I never even saw their faces.”

Surveillance video shows the robbery suspects snatching laptops right off the tables of a downtown Davis Peet’s Coffee shop then running out the door.
